smk_pa411 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hi. I'm a high school senior and I was recently accepted into Hofstra University and Drexel University for the BS/MHS 5 year PA program, which is truly a dream come true!! However I'm having trouble deciding between the two programs. I loved Drexel more because of its urban location, but the program seems more cutthroat.For both the programs, I have to maintain a 3.3 GPA and they both have similar & great PANCE pass results. Hofstra is much cheaper but I think Drexel has a greater reputation when it comes to getting a job?? Could any past alums or current students please give me any advice/comments/opinions/pros&cons on these schools because I have to commit before all seats in the program are taken! Also are there any other factors I should be considering when deciding which program to commit to?? Thank you much!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted March 8, 2015 Moderator Share Posted March 8, 2015 I'm Drexel alum and had a great experience there. the program has been around since 1971 and they have all the kinks worked out. I don't know anything about hofstra... I had great rotations at Drexel and was able to build a focus in emergency medicine with specialty rotations in em, trauma surgery, peds em, community em elective, inpt lockdown psych, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do you think its worth the high tuition? yup. although if you have connections for free housing or something elsewhere I would certainly look at all your options.
